Feeling Stuck in Business? Try This 7-Day Affirmation Challenge 

Let’s be honest, running a handmade business is a lot. Some days you feel like a powerhouse. Other days? You’re staring at your Etsy stats wondering if the algorithm just hates you.

If you’ve ever felt like your mindset is holding you back, this blog (and podcast episode!) is your soft reset button.

Because the way you talk to yourself matters just as much as your product photos, pricing, or SEO strategy.

And that’s where the 7-Day Affirmation Challenge comes in.

This isn’t about fluffy positivity or pretending everything’s fine when it’s not. This is about choosing new thoughts, on purpose, that support the business (and life) you’re building.

What Is the 7-Day Affirmation Challenge? 

Each day, you’ll focus on one powerful affirmation designed specifically for handmade business owners. These aren’t generic phrases—they’re real, grounded, and tailored to the stuff you deal with:

 • Self-doubt

 • Comparison

 • Fear of failure

 • Creative burnout

 • Money mindset wobbles

You can listen to one short audio a day (or binge the whole lot—no judgment!). Each one is under 10 minutes and gives you space to breathe, reflect, and start shifting the way you think about your business.

Why Affirmations Matter (Especially for Creatives) 

You’re not just selling products. You’re putting your creativity out into the world. That takes courage. And it’s really hard to show up with confidence if your inner voice is constantly whispering:

 “You’re not good enough.”

“No one’s buying—what’s the point?”

“Everyone else is doing better than you.”

These kinds of thoughts don’t just drain your energy. They keep you stuck. Affirmations help interrupt that pattern. They create new grooves in your thinking—ones that support you instead of tear you down.

What You’ll Get from the Challenge 

Here’s what handmade business owners have told me after doing this challenge:

💬 “I feel calmer and more focused.” 

💬 “I didn’t realise how harsh I was being to myself. This helped me soften.” 

💬 “I’ve started showing up more consistently—without the guilt or panic.” 

And that’s the goal. To help you stop spiralling and start grounding yourself in something solid. Something kind.

Here’s How to Join In 

🎧 Step 1: Head over to the episode:

7-Day Affirmation Challenge 

📝 Step 2: Listen to one affirmation a day. You can do it with your morning coffee, while walking the dog, or in that 3-minute pocket of quiet after school drop-off.

💡 Step 3: Say it out loud—or write it down. Let the words settle in.

You don’t need to believe the affirmations 100% right away. Just be open to the idea that they could be true. That’s where the magic starts.

You’re Worth Backing—Even on the Days You Feel Wobbly 

This isn’t about becoming some perfectly positive person. It’s about choosing better thoughts. One day at a time. One step at a time. One affirmation at a time.

You’ve got this. And if today’s a hard one? Let the challenge carry you for a bit.
